As the party winds down , a well-dressed Keleshite man approaches you and asks for a quick word. He draws you to the side, away from any crowds or activity, and addresses you in a slow, level voice with a strong Kelish accent.
“I am Aaqir al’Hakam. Like a fast-spoken djinn, I’ll get to the quick. I know where you are going. House Damaq of Qadira claim the ruin, but we are willing to allow you access for the price of a small deed easily accomplished during your adventure. You will be well compensated, I assure you, for profits are most rewarding when shared. I assume treasure-seekers like yourselves are interested in such a proposition?”
Without waiting for an answer, he continues, his eyes intent and his posture rigid.
“The ruin is Qadiran, which is why we claim it, and we are willing to defend it, but there are really only certain things left in Asad’s Keep we are interested in: trade agreements, of which we believe there to be many within the ruins. All we ask that you do is to turn over all trade agreements you find to us as soon as you return to Absalom, as we will be able to hold the signers to them even centuries after their signing.”
“The satrap of Qadira—nay, the entire Padishah Empire of Kelesh—has much to offer the Pathfinder Society, and I personally have no qualms about sharing those resources with you, specifically. Shall we shake on this agreement?”
What do you do? Do you have any questions?
i shall shake on that, as i have no questions for him. sim sim salla bimm.
ReplyDeleteFergus shrugs. Sure, an' we'll getcher papers for yeh."
ReplyDeleteRonan,
ReplyDeleteSure Trade Agreements. When we are looking for them are they all in the shape of traditional paper ones? Or are they items that agree to trades, such as tablets, seals, stamps, etc that you might have claim too?
Need posts from Brad and Matt H.
ReplyDeleteBump again.
ReplyDeleteStill looking for posts from Matt H and Brad.
Korg nods, and shakes the hand offered. "We shall see what we find, and share it with you. It is always good to find favor with the Padishah Empire."
ReplyDeleteNoc has little interest in missing trade papers, but also does not mind assisting in their retrieval. Politicians will be politicians.
ReplyDeleteHe nods in silent agreement.
